    I have a 2003 PT Cruiser. Recently, while stopped for gas, I heard a loud
    hiss under the front of my PT and saw a cloud of steam shoot out near the
    front. I opened the hood and checked for a hose leak and checked the water
    level and all seemed well. Does the PT have a pressure relief valve?

    Make sure your coolant recovery hose is attached to the overflow tank.

    It's normal for the pressure in the radiator to relieve when the rengine is
    stopped and the heat soak cycle starts but it shouldn't be visible, it
    should be conatained.
